The study investigates the factors that affect
the acceptance of Google Classroom (GC) in the
photography courses of Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad
Shah (POLISAS) students. The framework of the study is
based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The
study seeks to find out whether there is a significant
relationship between 1) perceived ease of use (PEOU) and
perceived usefulness (PU) of using GC. 2) Perceived ease
of use (PEOU) with behavioral intention (BI) to use GC?
And 3) perceived usefulness (PU) with behavioral
intention (BI) to use GC? The population is 35 students
enrolled in the photography course in June 2019, in which
GC is used as a teaching and learning (TnL) tool. A total
of 29 samples were drawn based on simple random
sampling. Partial least square structural equation
modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to determine the
hypothesis model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient (CA) and
Composite Reliability (CR) are used to determine the
internal consistency reliability with a value of >0.8. The
factor loading is >0.5 with a range of 0.701 to 0.939 for
convergent validity (CV). The discriminant validity (DV)
for the HTMT is met with the value of the constructs <1.
The results show that there is a significant relationship
between PEOU and PU for the use of GC, PEOU has a
positive influence on BI for the use of GC by the
POLISAS photography club students and there is no
significant relationship between PU and BI for the use of
GC. The study shows that further efforts and
improvement should be made on students' attitude and
behavior in using new TnL methods.
